Bonjour peoples! An update so fast? AGAIN? IT MUST BE A MIRACLE!
OMG I SURVIVED MY FIRST WEEK OF HIGH SCHOOL! And if I do say so myself, I DID PRETTY AWESOME. I only got lost on the way to each class once per class! I think that's pretty good! Well, other than that, I DID get LOTS of homework.
By the way, thank you all for your reviews, especially HowlingWolf4Life. That review is what made my ENTIRE week, and drove me to update this faster. TRENTNEY FANS FOREVAH!
Despite what had happened earlier, this has been one of the best nights I've had in a long, long time… I had a remarkably pleasant conversation, and now, here I lay, with a remarkably beautiful girl nestled in my arms.
I smiled as I wrapped my arms around her waist more, drawing her warm body closer to me. I heard her giggle slightly, making my smile grow. Courtney turned herself so she was facing me and returned the smile. She rested her head on my shoulder, while I rested mine upon hers and closed my eyes, enjoying the comfortable silence.
I hugged her closer to me, fighting back a huge yawn that was dying to escape my lips, but it was to no avail.
Courtney pulled away slightly, and sent me a light smile making my heart beat loudly. She patted the top of my head softly, before running her fingers through my long messy hair. I shook my head slightly in attempts to subdue the mess while she smiled at me.
"Tired?" She murmured.
I yawned again, as if to answer her question, before smiling back at her and nodding. "A bit, yeah…" I admitted. My smile grew as I grasped her hand and held it tenderly. "But I could never grow tired of this." I added, kissing the top of her hand lovingly.
Courtney's face flashed pink slightly as my heart fluttered, before she quickly looked down. I raised an eyebrow, and let go of her hand, and placed mine on her shoulder. "Hey, are you…okay, Court?" I asked, softly.
She quickly looked up, and flashed me a reassuring smile. "Oh, no, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just so…" Courtney trailed off, before sighing. "Relieved…"
I felt my heart clench when memories of our fight, and the awful words I said to Gwen came flooding back to me, but I simply narrowed my eyes. She did deserve it, and I wouldn't come to her defense this time, or ever again.
I forced a tiny smile, and rested my head against hers again. "Me too, Court…" I sighed, before scowling slightly. "I can't believe them!"
Courtney removed her head from mine, and frowned at me. "Hey, what happened to 'It doesn't matter.'" She mocked, lowering her vocal pitch to imitate mine.
I laughed a little, before forcing a frown. "You're right, it's just… Why couldn't they just let us be happy?" I muttered.
"Because they're selfish bastards." She said icily.
I smiled and chuckled. "So true." I agreed. I let out a sigh, before leaning down and plating a kiss on her collarbone, making her breath get caught in the back of her throat. I smiled against her neck, before pulling away.
"But now, as I've said before…" I trailed off, before pecking her cheek. "Let's just… Focus on us now." I stated firmly, while she nodded in agreement. "No Duncan, no Gwen, no nothing besides us."
Courtney chuckled slightly, and cupped my face with one hand and tilted my chin upwards forcing me to stare into her deep onyx eyes.
"Hey, you're the one who brought it up, mister." She said, softly trailing a finger up my chest and tapping me on the nose, causing me to blink and flinch slightly as shivers went down my spine. I felt my cheeks warm up as I cracked a nervous smile. "So, wanna go catch a movie or something?" She asked.
"Anything you want, Beautiful." I smiled.
Courtney smiled back, and pecked my cheek before unwrapping my grip on her waist and sliding off of the bed. She stretched as I stood up too.
"What movie do you wanna see? Anything you want to watch, we'll see, and it's on me." I offered.
Courtney turned to face me with widened eyes, showing slight concern. "Trent, are you sure? I mean-" She asked hesitantly, before I met her lips with my own. She instantly kissed back, before I pulled away.
"I'm sure." I smiled.
Courtney blushed making my smile widen, as she giggled silently. She smiled meekly, and bit her lip. "O-okay then… Uhm, Flowers for My Girlfriend 2 is playing…"
I nodded and held out my arm for her, which she happily took. "Alright, let's go." I said.
Courtney turned and smiled at me, as we walked towards my door, and being the gentleman I am, I made sure to open the door for her. She smiled softly and said thanks, before I shut and locked my door behind us, preparing for the best date with the best girl.
Courtney and I continued our trek down the hallway while my stomach did back-flips in excitement for our date, but as soon as we rounded the corner, we were faced with exactly who we absolutely didn't want to be faced with.
Gwen and Duncan.
Duncan sent me the nastiest glare I have ever seen, and Gwen shifted her weight uncomfortably and awkwardly looked around.
"Well um, look at the time…bye!" She said nervously, before turning around and trying to make a break for it, but Courtney wouldn't have it.
"Oh no gothie, you're STAYING." Courtney hissed, yanking her back over by her arm.
"Hey! Hands off my girl." Duncan spat, grabbing Gwen and pulling her over to his side and out of Courtney's grip. He narrowed his eyes more and stared at Courtney bitterly. "Don't you get enough 'touchie touchie' with Elvis over here?"
Oh how I loathed that nickname, oh so much. I narrowed my eyes at him while Courtney did the same.
"That's none of your business!" She countered.
"Oh it's everyone's business." Duncan snorted, before looking down at her stomach and rubbing it mockingly. "Oh hi there mini Elvis…" He cooed.
Courtney gasped and drew back her arm, and with one quick motion she had slapped him across the face. The loud slapping noise made one infer that it was incredibly hard. Duncan's scowled and rubbed the bruise budding on his cheek as Courtney glared daggers at him.
"You jerk! I can't believe I ever dated you!" She screamed.
Gwen glared at Courtney and angrily grabbed a handful of her hair, and pulled on it bringing her head down as she yelped in pain. "Don't touch him!" Gwen shouted.
Anger coursed through my veins as I witnessed that display. How dare she, especially after all she did. It made me sick.
Definitely not thinking clearly, I shoved Gwen making her to let go of Courtney's hair. "What the hell is your problem!" I yelled.
"What the hell is yours?" Duncan glared, clenching his jaw.
I returned the favour by glaring back, and draped an arm around Courtney's shoulders as she scowled and rubbed her head.
"You, obviously." I retorted.
Duncan held up his hands and shook them as he rolled his eyes. "Ooooh, I'm so scared…" He droned sarcastically. Duncan grabbed Gwen by her shoulders and pulling her in for a lustful kiss. Gwen instantly wrapped her arms around his neck while I scowled at their desperate attempt to make us jealous.
I looked over to Courtney and saw her eyes glimmer slightly, making my heart compress, before she shook it off thankfully and replaced her expression with one of distaste.
"Ugh, get a room." She scoffed.
Duncan pulled away and sent her a glare, before rolling his eyes. "Why didn't YOU when you basically fucked Trent in public at that party ya whore?" He challenged.
Courtney's face blanked, Gwen snickered, and my expression angered. I was about to tell him off, but Courtney beat me to it by lunging to attack the delinquent. She growled and bared her teeth while I quickly wrapped my arms around her waist to hold her back. "Whoa! Enough!" I declared, while Courtney's attempts at breaking free lessened in intensity. I turned her around and stared into her enraged eyes, and watched as they softened faintly.
"Let's just go Court." I said, as she let out an irritated sigh and nodded.
Duncan smirked slightly, and narrowed his eyes. "Yeah, wouldn't want to interrupt your nightly blowjob." He scoffed.
Okay, that is IT! Losing control of myself I growled and lunged for the cocky ass and drew back my arm to punch that stupid smirk off his face. But before I could rip that arrogant bastard to shreds like I oh, SO wanted to, Courtney had held me back. She got on her tiptoes and leaned in close to my ear.
"Sweetie…we'll be late for the movie." Courtney whispered.
I sent Duncan one last hateful glare that he easily returned, before I heaved a sigh and scowled. "Fine. Let's go." I muttered, gritting my teeth.
Courtney sighed in relief. "Thank god…" She murmured, before sliding her hand in mine, and giving it a tender reassuring squeeze. I rubbed the top of her hand with my thumb in response, before we walked past Gwen and the convict and to the elevator. I felt their fiery glare on us as the elevator doors closed, but I shrugged it off.
Who needs them anyways? I smiled crookedly, the previous excitement I was feeling before we encountered them returning.
Wow… My first real date with Courtney… The corners of my mouth twitched into a genuine smile while I looked down at her as she stared off into space. Feeling my gaze upon her, she turned to me with slightly widened eyes before she returned my smile and wrapped her arms around my neck as I placed my hands on her waist.
We stayed like that for a while, just soaking in each others presence and warm embrace, before I sighed and rested my forehead against hers.
"I love you, Court." I murmured.
"I love you too, Trent." She said softy, before planting a kiss on my jaw.
Once the elevator reached the lobby, I wrapped an arm around her and we exited the elevator and walked towards the theatre.
One thing for sure, was that it definitely was going to be a date neither of us would ever forget.
Sorry for the shortness of this chapter, there is much MUCH more to come, and soon, no worries.
